Wow! Great job! What brand of yarn is that? What kind of dye did you use?

Ooh, it turned out beautiful! I really want to try dyeing some, but I figure I should acutally *knit* something in it's entirety, to prove to myself that I;ll actually *use* the beautiful yarn, first! LOL. I LOVE the orange one, the color gradations are fabulous. (and I am so not an orange person, but that is just beautiful!!)

thank you!

if i have enough i am going to make oakers for Lucien...if not i will make newborn sized soakers. i just need to find out how much yarn it takes to make a toddler sized soaker. i'd rather not start it then find out i dont have enough because it will probably take me montha to finish one.

I got the Yarn from

here
I used kool aid lol..it came out better than i feared it would...though the colors are very ummm...vibrant....lol. I think i can get a lot of mileage out of mixing colors before i have to move on to acid dyes for a better pallet.

thanks again i am very proud...i haven't done anything creative in a long l0ong time
